| Summary: |
This paper begins with a discussion of Brazilian law
No. 11.284/2006, which governs the sustainable management
of Brazilian forests, and establishes a strategic policy and
precautionary measures to protect the environment against
negative impacts, and thus prevent unsustainable extraction
activities. The capacity of the forest to regenerate naturally is
the parameter that establishes the limits for economic activity.
This law also ensures future uses of the forests and seeks to
reinforce effective governance and create appropriate
mechanisms to facilitate the participation of the private sector
and concerned citizens. This includes the private sector in
environmental and economic policy to achieve sustainable
development. A shared responsibility on the part of civil society
is implemented by law, which works to reconcile the socioeconomic,
biological, ecological and environmental dimensions
of the complex Brazilian forest ecosystem. Based on forest
management principles, it recognizes the Country�s right to
change the use of public lands for economic purposes. Brazil
has the sovereign right to utilize, manage and develop its forests
in accordance with its needs for forest products and services.
This law recognizes the right of local communities and forest
dwellers to develop economic activities. The guiding objective
of the law, besides contributing to the management, conservation
and sustainable development of forests, is to provide for their
multiple and complementary functions, including traditional
uses. Nevertheless, the government must first facilitate and
encourage citizen awareness and participation. The goal is to
link development and forest preservation but the result is still
uncertain. |
